 established, and the Customizer fading a bit further into the background.
 Visually aligning with the former seems a more 'future-proof' strategy,
 especially given the ongoing admin design work
 ([https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/12/admin-design/]).

 be tempted to apply a stronger visual treatment to better distinguish the
 preview from the rest of the UI. But this feels over-emphasised to me.


 This version seems like it would be great to build so that it's easy to
 see how it will work with a variety of different icons. Do you have a
 version in figma or something marked up and cut up in such a way that it
 would be easy to code up?

 While it's not as prevelent as it once was, the customizer is still fairly
 heavily used so improvements shouldn't negelct it. That space is 275px
 wide, do you think it would be best to cut it shorter on the right there?
